It's been ages since I've heard anything from the SoCal punk band The Offspring but recently they sat down with Rolling Stone to discuss their new album, Days Go By.

Lil Wayne says he might be dropping the mic for a bit to focus on skateboarding, a hobby that quickly turned into a way of life, as the rapper told DJ Drama (via Vibe).

Rolling Stone caught up with Grammy nominated folk rockers Mumford & Sons this week, who told us all about their next album, which is due out sometime in 2012. "[It's] certainly more mature, I’d say," says bassist Ted Dwane. "The second record is just a reflection of our mindsets, where we’re all at. It’s doom folk, kind of like Black Sabbath meets Nick Drake."

Few artists are busier this summer than Skrillex, who is taking his loud, full-sensory-overload live show across giant venues from San Francisco's Golden Gate Park to New York's Randalls Island.

For his new album with Crazy Horse, Americana, Neil Young asked artist Shepard Fairey to create paintings to represent each of the record's 11 songs. The series of works premiered in L.A. last night at the Perry Rubenstein Gallery and will be on display there from June 28th through July 14th.
